Hi Everyone,
I did write a post yesterday but it appears that my phone decided not to send it!
Caroline, the ciclosporin that I take comes in capsules so I can't break them up, they come in 100mg, 50mg and 25mg, do you think that i should drop my dose of ciclo as i increase my fumaderm? I am due to drop from 100mg to 50mg tomorrow, and up my fumaderrm to two tablets on thursday. do you think I should drop my ciclo to 25mg next week when I go up to 3 x fumaderm tablets?
side effects - I'm still only getting warm flushes (which came in handy on Saturday at the rugby!) not suffered any pains as yet, but still only on one tablet at the minute so i would imagine that they will start as the dose increases. I have noticed that I have been a itching a lot more again over the weekend, I am taking this as a sign that the ciclo is starting to leave my system
I have been getting headaches, but i'm not sure whether this is a result of coming off my ciclo (as i got them a lot when starting on ciclo) or due to dehydration (didn't manage to drink as much as normal over the weekend - so making sure i drink plenty today) or if it is just me coming down with something as my little man was complaining of a sore throat this morning (i think he wanted a day off school to play with all his new Dr Who stuff!)
Are there any painkillers that you can't take whilst on fumaderm? I have been surviving without painkillers the whole time I have been on ciclo as the only ones that work for me are ibruprofen and those are a big no-no on ciclo!
